Always good to start checking out a trend right when it’s
supposed to be ending, right? Yeah, I haven’t really discussed Tyler Perry’s
work as a filmmaker on this blog before; hell, I’ve only seen one film he’s
directed other than this one with Acrimony, which was basically Gone Girl
except every single wrong decision was made during production. As such, I don’t
have a whole lot of experience with the character that basically made Tyler
Perry famous, save for a few stray clips here and there from videos made by
other critics.
However, since this is apparently the guy who’s been
dominating a sizeable amount of black cinema in the United State for the last
decade and a half, and a lot of my reviews this month have been looking back at
what’s made this decade’s cinema what it is, I figure this would at least give
me some material to work with. And to its credit, it certainly did… along with the feeling that I was better off just leaving these things alone.
